The  copy  filmed  here  has  been  reproduced  thanks 
to  the  generosity  of: 

Library  of  Congress 
Photoduplication  Service 

The  images  appearing  here  are  the  best  quality 
possible  considering  the  condition  and  legibility 
of  the  original  copy  and  in  keeping  with  the 
filming  contract  specifications. 


L'exemplaire  filmd  fut  reproduit  grdce  d  la 
g6n6rosit6  de: 

Library  of  Congress 
Photoduplication  Service 

Les  images  suivantes  ont  6x6  reproduites  avec  le 
plus  grand  soin,  compte  tenu  de  la  condition  et 
de  la  nettetd  do  l'exemplaire  film6,  et  en 
conformity  avec  les  conditions  du  contrat  de 
filmage. 


Original  copies  in  printed  paper  covers  are  filmed 
beginning  w'/th  the  front  cover  and  ending  on 
the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, or  the  back  cover  when  appropriate.  All 
other  original  copies  are  filmed  beginning  on  the 
first  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, and  ending  on  the  last  page  with  a  printed 
or  illustrated  impression. 


The  last  recorded  frame  on  each  microfiche 
shall  contain  the  symbol  — ^>  (meaning  "CON- 
TINUED"), or  the  symbol  V  (meaning  "END"), 
whichever  applies. 

Maps,  plates,  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reduction  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method: 


Les  exemplaires  originaux  dont  la  couverture  en 
papier  est  imprimis  sont  filmds  en  commenpant 
par  le  premier  plat  et  en  terminant  soit  par  la 
dernidre  page  qui  comporte  une  empreinte 
d'impression  ou  d'illustration,  soit  par  le  second 
plat,  selon  le  cas.  Tous  les  autres  exemplaires 
originaux  sont  filmds  en  commenpant  par  la 
premidre  page  qui  comporte  une  empreinte 
d'impression  ou  d'illustration  et  en  terminant  par 
la  dernidre  page  qui  comporte  une  telle 
empreinte. 

Un  des  symboles  suivants  apparaitra  sur  la 
dernidre  image  de  cheque  microfiche,  selon  le 
cas:  le  symbole  — h*-  signifie  "A  SUIVRE  ",  le 
symbole  V  signifie  "FIN". 

Les  cartes,  planches,  tableaux,  etc.,  peuvent  dtre 
film6s  d  des  taux  de  reduction  diff^rents. 
Lorsque  le  document  est  trop  grand  pour  dtre 
reproduit  en  un  seul  clich6,  il  est  filmd  d  partir 
de  Tangle  sup6rieur  gauche,  de  gauche  d  droite, 
et  de  haut  en  bas,  en  prenant  le  nombre 
d'images  ndcessaire.  Les  diagrammes  suivants 
illustrent  la  mdthode.

i  As  the  being  among  the  IhoJs  in  the  night-time  mufl:  al« 
ways  be  deemed  dangerous,  the  propriety  of  choofing  day- 
light fur  pafling  through  the  diffi.  ult  parts,  will  appear  ob* 
vious  to  every  navigator. 

Thofe  who  come  from  the  eaftward,  and  intend  to  go'ovcr 
the  Great-Bahama-Banky  Ihould  take  care  to  make  the  Hole-in- 
f he- fV^aUf  louih- end  oi  Abacca-lfland,  and  then  fleer  W.S. 
W.  or  W.  S.  W.  4.  W.  14  or  15  leagues,  which  will  bring 
them  to  Money-Key  or  Stirrup' s-Key  :  the  latter  is  the  north* 
crn-  moft  of  the  Berry-IJlands.  After  you  have  pafled  Stirrup' s- 
Keyy  fleer  S.  W.  about  7  leagues,  you  will  then  be  in  8  or  9 
fathoms  water.  You  ihould  next  fleer  S.  W.  b.  S.  after 
running  1 2  leagues,  you  will  be  nearly  on  the  middle  of  the 
bank,  and  may  depend  on  having  no  lels  than  2|  fathoms 
water.  After  you  loofe  fight  of  the  5^rr)»-//7w,  you  ought 
not  to  lee  any  land  until  you  make  Orange-Key^  and  the  Ro- 
qv.es.      ;',.  * 

In  your  entering  on  the  bank,  and  aUo  in  going  off  it,  you 
will  find  a  pretty  ftrongtide,  fetting  cither  diredly  on,  or  right 
of!  the  bank  ;  as  the  water  is  very  clear,  you  will  eafily  obferve 
its  morion  by  the  ground.  On  the  middle  of  the  bank  there 
is  little  or  no  tide.  If  the  wind  comes  fo  far  to  the  fouthward 
as  to  force  you  to  the  weftward  of  your  courfe,  you  mufl  be 
fure  to  lofe  no  time  in  coming  to  an  anclior,  left  you  fall  in 
with  the  fhoals  which  extend  about  three  leagues  to  the 
South-caftward  of  Bemitii  Iflands,  As  foon  as  you  can  fleer 
South,  you  fhould  get  under-way  again. 

From  Orange  Keyy  your  courle  to  the  wefternmoft  of  the 
Double- Head  Shot  Key  is  S.  S.  W.  and  the  diftance  about  15 
leagues.  Sometimes  the  current  will  force  you  on  the  Doulle- 
Headed  Shot  bank,  even  m  Hearing  S.   W.  Crom  Orange  Key. 

if  you  are  fteering  towards  the  Double- Headed  Sioi  Keys  in 
the  night,  you  fhould  be  very  careful  to  keep  dear  of  them  i 
there  are  a  number  of  bare  rocks,  perhaps  an  hundred  or 
more  j  fome  of  them  arc  about  the  fize  of^  a  fliip,  and  fome 
are  fmallcr  ;  in  general  there  is  water  enough  between  them, 
^bout  4  leagues  S.  S.  E.  from  the  fouth-weftcrnraoft  of  the 
Double-Heaaed  Shot  Keys^  is  Key  Sal,  about  which  there  are 
fereral  funken  ,  rocks.  In  'proceeding  from  Orange  Key, 
the  beft  way  is  to  fteer  S.  \V.  from  Orajige  Key,  or  the 
Roques,  and  not  to  run  the  whole  of  the  diftance  between

Thole  who  are  working  up  along  the  Cuba  (hore,  in  order 
to  go  through  the  Fiorida-Cut^jh^  (liould  bring  the  Pan  ^i Ma-

The  height  of  the  land  of  the  Ifland  of  Cuba,  and  its  being 
in  many  places  particularly  marked,  have  generally  induced 
navigators  to  keep  along  that  (hore  until  they  get  as  far  to 
the  eaftwaid  as  the  Alaianza  j  and  then  to  ftecr  N.  N.  E. 
for  the  Gu/pb  of  Florida.  But  as  thofe  who  proceed  along 
the  coaft  ot  Cuba  often  meet  with  a  lee-current  againft  them, 
the  beft  way  will  be,  after  coming  round  Cape  Antonio  and 
getting  into  the  latitude  ot  24'  North,  as  has  already  been 
mentioned,  to  ftretch  along  the Fiorida-KeySt^Mxch  they  may 
fafely  do,  by  {leering  in  while  it  is  day-light,  and  of  in  the 
night  time.  They  will  then  generally  have  a  ftrong  wind- 
ward current  in  thfeir  favour ;  and  in  the  winter  months, 
when  the  wind  is  often  northerly,  they  poHibly  may  have  a

.  South-eaft  gales  always  force  an  ertraordinary  body  of 
water  into  the  Gulph  of  Mtxieo  ;*  and  North  and  North*rafb 
winds,  by  retarding  the  progrefs  of  the  water,  lefll-ns  its 
quantity,  both  in  the  ingrefs  and  egrefs.  When  the  winds 
are  regular  and  gentle,  the  force  of  the  curents,  in  and  near 
to  the  Gulph  of  Florida^  are  moderate  }  but  immediatdy  af- 
ter northerly  and  North-eaft  ^les,  the  currents  and  counter'- 
currents  run  with  great  velocity. 

The  accumulation  of  water  in  the  Gulph  of  Mexico  is 
fometimes  fo  great,  that,  in  iffuing  through  between  the  ifland 
of  Cuba  and  Florida^  eddies  or  counter-currents  are  produced 
in  (everal  places  :  fuch  counter-currents  are  generally  to  be 
met  with  among  the  Colorados^  and  almoft  on  all  that  part  of 
the  coaft  of  Cuba  to  the  weftward  of  Babia-^uaJa,  Up- 
the  Flori da-Reef t  and  in  the  channel  between  it  and, the  /y^- 
rida-IJlands  or  Keyj,  there  is  a  counter-current  ictt^p^io  the 
weflward.  Here  it  may  be  neceflfary  to  obfcrve,  tbwwhere- 
Tcr  any  point  of  land  projefts  cqnfiderably  beyond  the  gen- 
eral line  of  the  coaft,  it  prodiKCs  a  counter-current  in-(hore  : 
if  the  channel  be  narrow  at  fuch  places,  the  current  in  it  will 
ht  more  central  and  rapid,  and  the  counter-current,  on  one 
or  both  fides,  will  be  augmented,  both  in  its  velocity  and  ex- 
tenfion.  •  , 

From  what  has  been  (aid  of  the  counter-currents,  it  is  e- 
Tident,  that  fmall  veiTels,  in  paflring.from  St.  Augtiflitt  to  the 
Hovannab^  or  the  Gulph  of  Mexico^  mty  make  their  paili^e 
by  keq>ing  very  near  to  the  Ihore,  and  by  going  within  the 
Florida-Reef,  or  in  foundings  along  the  outfide  of  the  reef : 
in  the  latter  cafe  they  will,  at  leaS,keep  out  of  the  current 
which  runs  to  the  North  eaftward,  called  the  Qu/pb-Siream, 
The  fame  advantage  may  be  taken  on  -the  Bahama  and  Cuba 
fide  of  the  gulph,  which  has  already  been  mentioned,^  and  di- 
reAions  ^ven  for  that  purpofe. 

Ships  in  pcdceeding  throi^h  the  Gulph  from  the  Wefl-
